Rather Be was released by British electronic group Clean Bandit featuring Jess Glynne in January 2014 and became a UK number-one hit, later winning the Grammy for Best Dance Recording. The four-second clip isolates the song's hopeful hook, 'If you gave me a chance, I would take it.' As the track lived on through lyric videos, streaming playlists and TikTok edits, the line took on a second life as a meme shorthand for asking forgiveness or a fresh start, which is why this tiny vocal moment still circulates years later.

Jess Glynne singing 'if you gave me a chance' from Clean Bandit's Rather Be. Used for second-chance memes, redemption edits and hopeful TikTok moments.
This four-second clip captures Jess Glynne's bright, pleading vocal delivering the 'if you gave me a chance, I would take it' hook from Clean Bandit's Rather Be, lifted over the song's warm strings and house beat. Her voice rises with earnest optimism, turning a simple request into an emotional promise. Dropped into an edit, it instantly reframes whatever came before as a moment worth forgiving, giving viewers a rush of hope and goodwill. It works because the line is universally understood: everyone has begged for one more chance, and Glynne sings it like she means it.
